Summary:
Senior Paul Wagoner walks into his school with a stolen gun, he threatens his girlfriend, Emily Beam, and then takes his own life. Soon after, angry and guilt-ridden Emily is sent to a boarding school in Amherst, Massachusetts, where two quirky fellow students and the spirit of Emily Dickinson offer helping hands. But it is up to Emily Beam to heal her own damaged self, to find the good behind the bad, hope inside the despair, and springtime under the snow.
My Thoughts:
This was such a well-written book. Emily's poems are beautiful, and the book itself isn't trying too hard to be poetic or romantic or melodramatic, or (insert an adjective ending in -ic here). I'd definitely recommend it.
